Hey guys i'm building a tweak for instagram i'm adding a sub preference called instatroll similar to trolltwitter to change the number of followers to any number the user sets (using PSEditTextCell) here is my code so far
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
static NSMutableDictionary *plist = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:#"/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.idevicelover.InstaEnhancer.plist"];
NSNumber *chosenNumber = [NSNumber numberWithInt:999];
int number = chosenNumber;
static BOOL followerson = NO;
%hook IGUser -(void)setFollowerCount:(NSNumber*)fp8{
followerson = [[plist objectForKey:#"followerson"]boolValue];
if(followerson){
%orig(number);
}
else{
%orig;
}
}
%end
%ctor
{
NSDictionary *InstaEnhancer = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:#"/var /mobile /Library/Preferences/com.idevicelover.InstaEnhancer.plist"];
if ([InstaEnhancer objectForKey:#"numberoffollowers"]) number = [[InstaEnhancer objectForKey:#"numberoffollowers"] intValue];
[InstaEnhancer release];
}
i'm getting this error when compiling :"assigning to NSNumber * from incompatible type "int"

NSNumber is an object. In order to use it as a primitive data type such as an int, you have to pull that type of value out of it with the appropriate method:
NSNumber *chosenNumber = [NSNumber numberWithInt:999];
int number = [chosenNumber intValue];
Also, later on, here:
number = [[InstaEnhancer objectForKey:#"numberoffollowers"] intValue];
If at this point number is an int (I have no clue as this syntax isn't C++ or Objective-C) then this should be fine. But if number is of type NSNumber *, then you need to drop the call to intValue:
number = [InstaEnhancer objectForKey:#"numberoffollowers"];
